Diversity Statement

The Carruth Center for Psychological and Psychiatric Services (CCPPS) is dedicated
to fostering a supportive learning environment for all members of the WVU
community. We are grateful for the diversity of our Mountaineer
family, which can span age, appearance, ethnicity and race, financial means,
gender, language, military experience, nationality, physical and
mental abilities, politics, religion and spirituality, region, and
sexual orientation.

We believe that acknowledging the cultural wealth
of everyone helps us to recognize, at once, the uniqueness and the
universality of the human experience. This recognition of our
similarities and differences can make us mindful of how we define
ourselves and treat other members of our Gold and Blue community. Join us,
as we encourage staff and others to engage in open and ongoing dialogue
about the attitudes, values, and beliefs that shape us, individually
and collectively, in this global age.
